"The number one source of overpopulation is illegal aliens," said Rick Oltman, spokesman for Californians for Population Stabilization. "The one thing we don't want to do is to make it easier for illegal aliens to cross the border."

Califor nia currently has a population of 38 million, which is expected to soar to 50 million in the next five to 10 years, said Oltman.

Part of Schwarzenegger's campaign in 2003 was repealing a previous version of the license bill signed by then-Gov. Gray Davis before he was recalled. Schwarzene gger signed the repeal in December of 2003.

Californians for Population Stabilization (CAPS) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit membership organization that relies solely on donations. CAPS works to formulate and advance policies and programs designed to stabilize the population of California, the U.S. and the world at levels which will preserve the environment and a good quality of life for all.
